Gran, son of Anton & Hannah Gran, on March 10, 1940 at Olivet, South Dakota. Lawrence worked as a carpenter for Ed Blaalid and Lester Anderson from 1940-1942. Olive and Lawrence then farmed North of Scotland 1942-1943 and West of Scotland 1944-1947 during which their two sons, Delmar (1944) and Jerry (1947) were born. In November 1947 they moved to Miles City, Montana where Lawrence worked in his brother Edward's gas station. Olive, Lawrence and two sons returned to Scotland in February 1949 and purchased Cisar's Market, which they owned and operated as Gran's Market until 1976 when son Jerry (Debra) assumed ownership.

She also enjoyed physical exercise, bowling, dancing and local area parades in Kaylor, Menno, Tabor and Wagner with special long-time friend Wayne Walter in his 1928 Model A Roadster. Olive was a very family-oriented wife and mother who lived for her husband, sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and other family and friends. She loved her daughter-in-laws like daughters. Her sons and daughters will remember her excellent cooking and "old-fashioned conservative ways". Olive was noted for her sense of humor, friendly disposition, perpetual smile, and "tomorrow will be better" attitude. She was friends with everyone and lived life to the fullest.
